Default Caliper pin on 2002 Dakots

I have a caliper pin that has stripped threads. I want to heli-coil it but don't know the thread size I need. I know it is .125 but don't know if it is 10 mm or 8 mm

Take one of the bolts to the hardware store. They should have gauges for just such an occasion.

Hate to be captain obvious but if it's the slide pin that's stripped, you replace it. If it's the caliper itself, maybe easier to go pull one in the junkyard.

Auto part stores should also have them
